birthday buttons

All around campus you see people with buttons on their backpacks and I've paralleled these with bumper stickers on cars. Some are funny and weird and others are crazy opinionated, and some I just don't know how to respond to. Like today, I saw one that said, "What are YOU doing to prevent unplanned pregnancies??"......What?..... Now I think it would be fun to decorate my backpack with fun and crazy buttons but at the same time, as we say in my theatre class, "what kind of consequences would come from such an action?" These aren't necessarily bad consequences, they can be good, but I don't know if I want to be stopped on the way to class by someone who "LOVES burritos TOO!" you know what I'm sayin?

My friend Patrick's birthday is coming up and let me tell you-it is HARD to find a good gift for a boy! Literally everything sold in stores are targeted someway towards women...Cute water bottles, cute scarves, cute cute cuteness is all around me and yet nothing boyish! There are only so many polos and henleys you can give a person.... He doesn't wear ties like, ever.. and I'm not about to buy him cologne or a watch....those last ones are the only "manly" gifts I can think of btw. Baaaaa. Maybe I'll settle for a mixed CD! Oh sort of like last years gift? DAMN.

Maybe I can send him some assorted buttons for his backpack!!! The brilliance of my mind astounds me.
